Abstract

Cardiac output (CO) is a key hemodynamic variable that can be minimally invasively estimated by pulse wave analysis. Multi-beat analysis is a novel pulse wave analysis method. In this prospective observational clinical method comparison study, we compared CO estimations by multi-beat analysis with CO measured by intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution (PATD) in adult patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). We included patients after planned admission to the ICU after elective OPCAB who were monitored with a radial arterial catheter and a pulmonary artery catheter. At seven time points, we determined CO using intermittent PATD (PATD-CO; reference method) and simultaneously recorded the radial arterial blood pressure waveform that we later used to estimate CO using multi-beat analysis (MBA-CO; test method) with the Argos monitor (Retia Medical; Valhalla, NY, USA). Blood pressure waveforms impaired by inappropriate damping properties or artifacts were excluded. We compared PATD-CO and MBA-CO using Bland–Altman analysis accounting for repeated measurements, the percentage error, and the concordance rate derived from four-quadrant plot analysis (15% exclusion zone). We analyzed 167 CO values of 31 patients. Mean PATD-CO was 5.30 ± 1.22 L/min and mean MBA-CO was 5.55 ± 1.82 L/min. The mean of the differences between PATD-CO and MBA-CO was 0.08 ± 1.10 L/min (95% limits of agreement: − 2.13 L/min to + 2.29 L/min). The percentage error was 40.7%. The four-quadrant plot-derived concordance rate was 88%. CO estimation by multi-beat analysis of the radial arterial blood pressure waveform (Argos monitor) shows reasonable agreement compared with CO measured by intermittent PATD in adult patients treated in the ICU after OPCAB.
